The Cost of Ignoring Women’s Health Extends Beyond Finances: Sarah Ahmad

In a recent interview with The American Journal of Managed Care
, CAQH CEO Sarah Ahmad highlighted a pressing issue in healthcare—neglecting women’s health, particularly during menopause, comes with serious financial and personal costs. Speaking at CAQH Connect, she underscored how untreated menopause symptoms can lead to unnecessary tests, higher risks for chronic conditions, and a diminished quality of life.

Ahmad emphasized that proactive care and better health education are key to changing this narrative. She called for systemic reforms, including value-based care models that support women throughout their lives. Her insights make it clear: investing in women’s health isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s essential for a stronger, more efficient healthcare system.
